Zachary Richard - Zack's Bon Ton

Zachary Richard has been among Cajun music's finest performers during the 1980s and '90s, and this late-'80s session was one of his finest. The 12 tracks included hot versions of "Jolie Blonde," "La Valse de Grande Riviere" and "Ma Petite Fille Est Gone." Richard also demonstrated his country proficiency with a heady cover of Johnny Horton's "The Battle of New Orleans," as well as "Big River" and "Take Me Deep (Song For C)." The Bon Ton Playboys also include outstanding musicians in fiddler Rufus Thibodeaux, saxophonist Pat Breaux, keyboardist Craig Lege with Richard doubling on Acadian accordion, harmonica, and acoustic guitar in addition to doing leads. Read More
